If the riginal package is n lnger available, use a similar bx that can be clsed fully. Stre the SlarEdge Data Lgger in a dry place where ambient temperatures are -40 C (-40 F) t +60 C (140 F). Package Cntents Data Lgger Accessry kit including: Three 3-pin terminal blcks One 7-pin terminal blck One 6-pin terminal blck Installatin Equipment Standard tls can be used during the installatin f the SlarEdge Data Lgger. The fllwing is a recmmendatin f the equipment needed fr installatin: Drill and 5/32 inch diameter bits Three-wire twisted cable r fur-wire twisted pair cable Fr ptinal Ethernet cmmunicatins: CAT5/6 cable Installatin Guidelines The Data Lgger is cnsidered permanently cnnected equipment and requires a discnnect means (circuit breaker, switch, r discnnect) and vercurrent prtectin (fuse r circuit breaker). The Data Lgger draws ma, therefre the rating f any switches, discnnects, fuses, and/ r circuit breakers is determined by the wire gauge, the mains vltage, and the current interrupting rating required. The switch, discnnect, r circuit breaker must be lcated near the meter and be easily perated. Use circuit breakers r fuses rated fr 20A r less. Use gruped circuit breakers when mnitring mre than ne line. The circuit breakers r fuses must prtect the mains terminals labeled L1, L2, and L3. In the rare cases where neutral has vercurrent prtectin, the vercurrent prtectin device must interrupt bth neutral and the ungrunded cnductrs simultaneusly. The circuit prtectin / discnnect system must meet all natinal and lcal electrical cdes. The Data Lgger pwer supply requires a grid vltage f Vac (50/60Hz). Prtect the Data Lgger frm dust, wet cnditins, crrsive substances and vaprs. Cable specificatins: Chapter 2: Installing the Data Lgger 11

18 Chapter 3: Cnnecting the SlarEdge Data Lgger t the SlarEdge Installatin Overview Chapter 3: Cnnecting the SlarEdge Data Lgger t the SlarEdge Installatin The SlarEdge Data Lgger cnnects t the PV system installatin using the RS485 cmmunicatin ptin. The RS485 ptin enables creating a chain (bus) f up t 31 slave SlarEdge devices, cnnected t ne master, which can be anther SlarEdge device r the SlarEdge Data Lgger. The fllwing is an example f a master Data Lgger cnnected t a chain f slave inverters. Figure 11: Example f RS485 cnnectin The fllwing sectins describe hw t cnnect the RS485 bus and hw t cnfigure its cmpnents. Creating an RS485 Bus Cnnectin The RS485 bus uses a three-wire cable cnnecting the RS485-1/2 terminal blcks n the SlarEdge Data Lgger t the RS485 input f the inverters. T cnnect the RS485 cmmunicatin bus between inverters and the SlarEdge Data Lgger: 1. Thread the RS485 cable thrugh ne f the Data Lgger's cmmunicatin glands. 2. Use ne f the supplied 3-pin terminal blcks: Lsen the screws and insert the wire ends int the A, B and G pins. Fr cnnectins lnger than 10 meters, use twisted-pair A and B wires. Figure 12: 3-pin terminal blck 3. Cnnect the 3-pin terminal blck t the designated RS485-1 prt n the Data Lgger. 17

19 Creating an RS485 Bus Cnnectin 4. If the Data Lgger is at the end f the RS485 chain, terminate the Data Lgger by switching a terminatin DIP switch t ON. The switches in the SlarEdge Data Lgger are marked SW1 fr the RS485-1 prt terminatin and SW2 fr the RS485-2 prt terminatin, as shwn belw: Figure 13: Data Lgger RS485 cnnectrs and terminatin switches 5. Open the inverter cver as described in its manual. 6. Remve the seal frm ne f the penings in cmmunicatin gland #2 f the inverter and insert the cable thrugh the pening. 7. Pull ut the 9-pin RS485 terminal blck cnnectr, as shwn belw: Figure 14: The RS485 terminal blck in the inverter 18

20 Chapter 3: Cnnecting the SlarEdge Data Lgger t the SlarEdge Installatin 8. Lsen the screws f pins B, A and G n the left f the RS-485 terminal blck. Fr inverter: Use the RS485-1 pins (left-mst) Figure 15: RS485 terminal blck 9. Insert the wire ends int the B, A and G pins shwn abve. Yu can use any clr wire fr each f the B, A and G cnnectins, as lng as the same clr wire is used fr all A pins, the same clr fr all B pins and the same clr fr all G pins. 10. Cnnect all B, A and G pins in all inverters. The fllwing figure illustrates this cnnectin schema: Figure 16: Cnnecting SlarEdge devices in a chain NOTE D nt crss-cnnect B, A and G wires. Fr inverters - D nt insert wires int RS485-2 pins. 19

21 Creating an RS485 Bus Cnnectin 11. Tighten the terminal blck screws. 12. Push the RS485 terminal blck firmly all the way int the cmmunicatin bard. 13. Terminate inverters installed at the ends f the chain by setting the DIP switch blck marked SW7 n the cmmunicatin bard. Set the switch t ON (up) as shwn in the figure belw. Figure 17: RS485 terminatin switch T cnfigure the RS485 cmmunicatin bus with SlarEdge inverters: By default, all SlarEdge devices are pre-cnfigured as slaves n the RS485-1 prt. If required, slaves can be further cnfigured using the RS485-X Cnf ptin in the Cmmunicatin menu. One device must be cnfigured as the master n the RS485 bus. Any SlarEdge device may be the master (fr example, inverter, Data Lgger). If yu cnnect the installatin t the SlarEdge mnitring platfrm, the device used t cnnect t the server must be the master. The fllwing describes hw t cnfigure the master device. 1. Press the Enter buttn until the fllwing message is displayed: P l e a s e e n t e r P a s s w r d * * * * * * * * 2. Use the three-right mst LCD buttns t enter the passwrd: The fllwing menu is displayed: L a n g u a g e < E n g > C m m u n i c a t i n P w e r C n t r l D i s p l a y M a i n t e n a n c e I n f r m a t i n 3.

In rder t transfer mnitring data frm a SlarEdge site t the SlarEdge mnitring platfrm, a cmmunicatins cnnectin must be established. Cmmunicatins are nt required fr pwer harvesting - they are required nly when using the mnitring platfrm. Any SlarEdge device can serve as the cnnectin pint. This chapter describes hw t set up this cnnectin with the Data Lgger serving as the cnnectin pint t the mnitring platfrm. The Data Lgger shuld be the master n an RS485 bus. Cmmunicatin Optins The fllwing types f cmmunicatin can be used t transfer the mnitred infrmatin frm the inverter t the SlarEdge mnitring platfrm thrugh the SlarEdge Data Lgger. Only cmmunicatin prducts ffered by SlarEdge are supprted. Always cnnect the cmmunicatin ptins when the relevant devices are pwered dwn - Data Lgger, inverter. Ethernet Ethernet is used fr a LAN cnnectin. Fr cnnectin instructins refer t Creating an Ethernet (LAN) Cnnectin n page 43. RS485 RS485 is used fr the cnnectin f multiple SlarEdge devices n the same bus in a master-slave cnfiguratin. RS485 can als be used as an interface t external devices, such as meters and third party data lggers. RS485-1: Enables the cnnectin f multiple devices (inverters/data Lgger) ver the same bus, such that cnnecting nly ne device t the Internet is sufficient t prvide cmmunicatin services fr all the devices n the bus. RS485-2: Enables cnnectin f nn-slaredge devices. RS485-E: The RS485 Expansin Kit prvides an additinal RS485 prt fr the Data Lgger fr enhanced cmmunicatins. The kit cntains a mdule, which is installed n the cmmunicatin bard, and has a 3-pin RS485 terminal blck.

Creating an Ethernet (LAN) Cnnectin Overview This cmmunicatin ptin enables using an Ethernet cnnectin t cnnect the SlarEdge Data Lgger t the mnitring platfrm thrugh a LAN. The SlarEdge Data Lgger has an RJ45 cnnectr fr Ethernet cmmunicatin. Yu can cnnect mre than ne SlarEdge Data Lgger t the same switch/ruter r t different switches/ruters, as required. Each Data Lgger sends its mnitred data independently t the SlarEdge mnitring platfrm. Figure 25: Example f Ethernet cnnectin 43
